Nice Jeep! Are you looking for suggestions about the markings?

 

From memory I would propose the following:

 

13*1MGP (left of bumper as you look at it) HQ-5 (right of bumper as you look at it)

 

Air Forces has a 5 pointed star as vehicle marking... I'm not sure how many and if an AAF Med Gp would have been issued Jeeps, but I guess their HQ would have...

BUT are you sure they were attached to the 13AAF during WW2?

This site suggest they were in Germany in 1945...

Maybe someone has original pictures laying around which show similar markings???

By my od age and lousy memory the best I can think of is that in 1951 the 1st hospital group was at Clark Field on Luzon, then it was sent to Korea and the 1st Med Group took over . I stand to be corrected.Maybe I should change markings to 1st Hosp.Grp. ?

Very beautiful MB. I'm the owner of a Ford Gpw DoD June 1943 marked with the insigna of the 5th Army, the same identification number taken from a photo of a Jeep entered on my town in April 1945 - Italy.

 

Contratulation for the perfect restoring. :thumbsup:

A fantastic job done on your jeep.

I thank God you are not putting on 82nd or 101 Airborne markings... :thumbdown:

Have you got the correct 12 unit first aid kit in there?

If you are looking for information on correct markings and content just send me a photo of the kit.

Yes I am writting a book on the subject.
